Revelation 8:3

Context
8:3 Another 1  angel holding 2  a golden censer 3  came and was stationed 4  at the altar. A 5  large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 tn Grk “having.”

3 sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.

4 tn The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (Jestaqh) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek.

5 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
